Re: [Qemu-devel] Minor bug in 0.7.1 install

1) on my FC3 box, i had to force sdl to compile statically because the sdl test didn't work for some reason (could be my box's problem). but there's no way to set sdl = 'yes' from the configure command line. so i hacked configure, but then line 730 dies: echo

$config_mak is a makefile fragment, not a shell script, so this should work fine. hmmm... configure errors out for me after i hack it to force static linking with SDL and this is what i traced it to. here's the actual output rather than my possibly flawed analysis :) # ./configure Install

2005-08-30 Thread Paul Brook
When using KQEMU, QEMU will create a big hidden file containing the RAM of the virtual machine. For best performance, it is important that this file is kept in RAM and not on the hard disk. QEMU uses the `/dev/shm' directory to create this file because tmpfs is usually mounted on it (check

[Qemu-devel] usermode emulation for ppc host

2005-08-30 Thread Antonio Vargas
Having a look at the sources, I've noticed that extra ppc registers are only used when doing usermode-inly emulation and not when doing fullsystem-mode. Can anyone tell me where should I look for problems when disabling that restriction? I've already tried to enable the use of these registers but

Hi, Hm. hard choice.correctness traded for perfomance But anywayIMHO this hack is needed for every speed-step enabled machine. Perhaps...the other workaround is via cpufreqd? I don't have any Pentium M based PC/laptop around, so this is just a pure guess Yeah, you can also
